GemMatrix | Faceting secrets: preform
มุมมอง 3974 ปีที่แล้ว
This is our manufacturing process from inside! We are happy to share some of the Thai cutters' experience. We start with preform. The first order of business - probably the trickiest part - is preform. In the trade, preforms are sometimes separated into two types - first preform and second preform. The first preform is a very rough sample of what the stone would become, but it is as important a...

      For gem enthusiasts, it's definitely not. I never over-edit our photos to mislead potential customers. In this case, I enhanced the visibility of the culet and the pavilion's main facets, while reducing the brightness of the star facets to provide a clearer view of the entire stone without excessive reflections. Capturing the right photo of a gem is about 70% of the work. However, the photo above is too dark and might not be appealing to professionals.

    As a person in their mid 20s I plan on diving in and devoting my life to this topic. Diy machines and older style set ups are what led me to your content. You've given me the details needed in order to make realistic goals for myself. Curious about manual powered machines that are hand crank or foot pedal driven. Is there shops today using this type of set up?
